Thank you for your answers. Watching

> was always SOIC16
I thought common is soic8.
> You can just solder the wires to the SPI flash chip
Are you saying, you can get to solder wires?
Do you have pictures?
I am not going to solder with a solder iron. What about conductive wire glue?

Can it be removed after flashing? Maybe vacuuming is required.
> you can determine which chip you have without taking it apart
I have not been able to tell if it is a soic8 or 16 rom. I installed flashrom
0.9.6.1 on ubuntu 14.04 64bit. Sudo flashrom -p internal did not work. Nor
did systemrescuecd. http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download/. Maybe it
damaged the kernel.
Arctic MX-4. Other thermal paste you may use instead?
